GOUVERNEUR -- The St. Lawrence Health Initiative will offer the 6-week program "Living Better With Diabetes" during September and October.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays, Sept. 4, 11 and 18, Oct. 2, 9 and 16, from 9–11:30 a.m.; or Wednesdays, Sept. 5, 12 and 19, Oct. 3, 10 and 17 from 5-7:30 p.m.

“Living Better” is designed for all who are living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, or are interested in learning more about diabetes. Family members, friends and/or caregivers are encouraged to attend as well. A light snack is provided.

Topics covered include nutrition, physical activity, problem solving, short-term goal setting, medication usage, and dealing with the frustration and other difficult emotions that come with living with a long term health condition. Support and encouragement from both leaders and peers help with day-to-day management.
